The Unbusy Mom - take your time back strategies for business moms
Welcome to the Unbusy Mom, where I help you love your work-from-home mom life again.
Hi, I’m Alyssa - the Take Your Time Back coach, plus a homeschool mom to 5 kids - and mompreneur life is easy for me!
And if I can make it work - not just work, thrive - then you can, too.
It’s time to
-Give yourself the workouts, journaling, and hobby time you need every single day (that’s why it’s 3 hours, not 40 minutes)
-Deep work for hours (guilt-free) as you scale your business
-Shut off the marketing brain so you can be fully present as a mom
-Spend more time cuddling your kids, less time cleaning up after them
-Up your revenue, not your hours
Ready to take back the “work at home with kids around” life you always intended this to be?
